Penny's Used Auto Parts has started a GoFundMe to raise funds for its recovery after a devastating fire.

The Archie Family, the owners, and operators of Penny's, are asking for 100,000 to help rebuild the business. The fundraiser has received $650 in the four days since it has been online.

Penny's was founded in 1956 by Henry and Anne Archie as the first used car parts junkyard in Woodbridge. Penny was Henry Archie's nickname, which became the business's name.
